Local Community Profile

The District of West Vancouver is located in the northern section of Metro Vancouver, which is located in the southwestern region of British Columbia. West Vancouver is bordered by Burrard Inlet and the entrance to Howe Sound to the west, Burrard Inlet to the south, the District of North Vancouver to the east, and the Coast Mountains to the north. West Vancouver was incorporated in 1912, has a geographic area of approximately 87.4 square kilometres, and a 2006 census population estimated at 42,131. The district is primarily residential in nature, with commercial/retail development concentrated primarily along the east‐west running Marine Drive corridor. The major transportation corridor through the district is the Trans‐Canada Highway (Upper Levels Highway), which connects the communities of the Sea to Sky Corridor, Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and routes into the interior of British Columbia.

Much of the shoreline along Burrard Inlet and Howe Sound is residential in nature, with many luxury and executive homes characterizing the neighbourhoods near the waterfront. Additionally, as West Vancouver rises from the waterfront towards the Coast Mountains, many properties offer highly desirable views towards the City of Vancouver to the south.
